monies; and to express to its older sister Society the feel- 

 ings of warm cordiality and friendship with which that 

 invitation was received. The "Antonio Alzate" has in- 

 vited and published in its Memorias y Revista communi- 

 cations from Scientific men of all nations, and especially 

 from the United States. These valuable contributions 

 to science have been printed, each in the language of 

 its author, and the closest sympathy and fellowship have 

 been exhibited by it through its eminent permanent Sec- 

 retary Senor Rafael Aguilar for the many eminent 

 scientific members of the American Philosophical So- 

 ciety. It requests us, its delegates, to express to the 

 latter its warm cooperation in the spirit of this bi-cen- 



tenary.
